Learning Ballet at The Lisa Macuja School of Ballet Manila

July 26, 2017 4 Comments

Last summer, Gwen’s only summer activity was her ballet lessons at The Lisa Macuja School of Ballet Manila located at the 4th Level of Fisher Mall in Quezon City. She took ballet lessons before in a different school but it’s a different experience stepping into a school carrying the name of the country’s first Prima Ballerina. It’s an added bonus that you get to see Ms. Lisa Macuja while she teaches in the adult ballet class. Gwen gets “kilig” every time we see her.

Montessori de San Juan: Providing Progressive Education for Today’s World

April 25, 2017 2 Comments

When I was looking for a school for Gwen 2 years ago, I encountered a lot of schools using the word “Montessori”. I got enticed to enroll her for Junior Kinder but it turned out that they are just using the traditional teaching method. I even complained on DepEd about it but they said that they have no rulings about school’s teaching methods. Even in the US, schools use them all the time because the word Montessori is not legally protected. That’s why as parents, we need to research, observe the teaching method, and see if they are using Montessori materials.

One school that is recognized by American Montessori Society is Montessori de San Juan. It was established in 1975 and continues to provide progressive education up to present.

Win it at the last minute with HP – 24-hour hassle-free printing

February 28, 2016 7 Comments

Nowadays, rushing to finish an unexpected school project or even a simple assignment can be really stressful, not only for the students but for their parents as well. Imagine the children staying up late at night just to research, write, and put together a book report, biography, movie review, poster or collage, and other projects.

But what is most distressing is when they suddenly realize they won’t be able to submit the project or assignment and all these hard work would amount to nothing simply because of last-minute printing problems with their low-quality printer.

Their next best option is to look for a 24-hour computer shop or Internet café late at night or in the wee hours of the morning and pray they have a working printer, regardless of the quality of printouts.

Thankfully, parents and their kids can avoid some of these last-minute stressful situations by simply having an HP DeskJet 3635 Ink Advantage All-in-One Printer right at home.
